P-51 Combat Tips and Tricks ( Dogfight Guide )

[K_Freddie]

Put it to you this way..
I (and many others) have put 10 years into IL2.. with DCS I feel like a noob... having to learn to fly sims all again.

- You have to know all your dials, bells and switches.
- You have to know your engine (you'll blow the engine anywhere between startup.. and 10 minutes). EM is crucial here, especially in a DF.
- and of course how to fly the thing to it's advantage

This P51 has little quirks of maneuvering - it not a matter of pointing the nose and shoot at the target as in IL2.. everytime you turn, roll etc.. RL secondary forces are real here and your nose bobs all over the sky. I don't have rudders or a decent input system yet, so cannot control these forces... but its a plane that feels loose in the sky - you have to let it fly itself.

I'll make a vid.
